I forskningsprogram 1 Fremtidens vannkraftverk vil vi forske på hvordan vannkraftverk skal bygges i fremtiden, design for variabel kjøring og fleksibilitet, forbedrede løsninger for drift, vedlikehold og digitale løsninger og sedimenthåndtering.

Boulder Movement

Fundamental research on the movement of boulders on fixed beds (bedrock and hydraulic structures). CFD and physical modelling.

GLOF Hydraulics

Fundamental Research on the hydrodynamic characteristics of GLOFs and their effect on landscape development, sediment, boulder and rock movement with the aim of hazard mitigation.

Underground Pumped Storage Plants

Hydraulic research on underground pumped storage plants

Culvert Hydraulics and Blockage

Research on culvert hydraulics and blockage.

InSpillyFish

Research on hydraulic improvements of spillways, including fish passage.

Kajak Waves

Nature-based solutions to create waves for kajaking

Pen@Hydropower

The COST Action aims to specify the hydropower potential in the modern energy system with technological developments, state-of-the-art climate projections, environmental and societal conditions for implementation tools for legislation and governance.

Energydam

The project aims is to develop a new methodology for the analysis and evaluation of modernizing / equipping existing non-powered dams with hydropower production.

HydroCen - WP1.3

The main objective of HydroCen is to enable the Norwegian hydropower sector to meet complex challenges and exploit new opportunities through innovative technological solutions. Work pakage 1.3 focuses on hydraulic structures and sediment handling.
